Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, I made the move over to London in 2014 to pursue a fast paced career in the world of recruitment.
Not looking back, I’ve immersed myself in helping technologists secure their next career move – specifically focusing on software engineering across multiple skillsets.
Like all antipodeans who find themselves based in London I am a very keen traveller, foodie and lover of rugby (playing as well as watching from the stands with a pint of lager in hand).
